Hi!

Options
It’s been a REALLY long time since I’ve been in the forums.
Anyway I’m Valerie. 38yr old female from NWIndiana. I have been on MFP for about 4 years- on and off.
I’ve lost 75lbs, and I have a goal of 20lbs more. I work long 10-12 hr days, plus have a household and family to maintain- so I really only get to the gym 3 days a week. I love cardio, and I’m just starting to reintroduce weights into the mix. I’m horrible at clean eating, and I love food. I’d rather have a little indulgence and work out harder vs cutting anything out.
Looking to gather some more friendly support.

    I used to hate the thought of clean eating but making my own over time I have learnt what I like and what I dont, especially how you can vary chicken.

    I can't stand the term "clean eating". It doesn't really mean anything and implies that not eating within certain restrictive rules is "dirty". Nobody wants to eat "clean" 100% of the time anyway, and it's totally possible to have a healthy lifestyle that includes all different kinds of foods, and even some fast food and processed foods, because this is real life! Rant over.
